True. If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases due to vasodilation, which ultimately increases the net filtration pressure.

The filtration of blood occurs in the kidney, an excretory organ. The kidney is composed of numerous small units called nephrons, which is responsible for the blood filtration.

Glomerulus is part of nephron and the glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle of the kidney. This process is driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure.

These pressures are collectively called net filtration pressure, which is influenced by the diameter of afferent arterioles.

If the arterioles constricts, net filtration pressure will decrease and if arterioles dilates, net filtration pressure will increase. This mechanism is regulated by neural, renal and hormonal regulation.

Option C

Explanation:

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
umka21 [38]

Answer: DESERT

Explanation:

Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.

Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.

The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:

--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water

--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.

--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.

The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
